as i said before, i'm all for considering alternatives, providing they tick the boxes etc....
inch is the most obvious example of an alternative in the region... almost identical location to rossbeigh (directly opposite ross on the dingle peninsula), equivalent distance from killarney, surf beach yada yada yada.
immediately jumps out off google
http://www.inchbeach.com/100 m to beach, 100 m to pub, 8 holiday homes, 350euros for week of new years each sleeping 6, 4 star,
sounds pretty similar to the ross inn and cottages... only the houses look a lot nicer from the photo's. i'd imagine if we booked all eight at the same time, you'd get them for 300/wk each...

other properties on discoverireland.com
mentions something about sammys bar?
might be worth a call, find out the name of the bar and call them? check on availability? how busy is the bar at new years? possibility of booking all the houses... other properties in the immediate area etc etc... explain what we bring to the area, potentially up to 100 people for the week of new years, a traditionally slow business period... make sure the bar is open over the new years period.... etc etc etc
anybody fancy looking onto it? i'm not going to do it from the UK...
